day one...

Day one is finito!! We met our new students, internally chuckled at a few of their chosen english names, and we kicked off the school year with a bang... fireworks included!! The day seems a blur now, but it was the start of our year, and a good start. Beginnings are a stepping stone, you are able to put all of the pre-planning days and anxious moments aside, and actually begin. From here it doesn't get any easier, for there will be tests and assignments, lab reports and missing homework, but at least we've started and we're off and running.
In other news the smog is getting thicker by the day. Visibility has decreased to the point that the highrise that was visible across the highway is now a figment of our non-smoggy imaginations!! Last night I suggested to Christina that we should get a bamboo plant for the house, for two reasons. One, we need to have a plant, every house should have one, and secondly, bamboo is a wonderful litmus test of the surrounding air quality. bamboo should and will thrive anywhere as long as it has water, sun (daylight) and finally decent air. We'll see how much potential damage we might be doing to ourselves by the lifespan or life of our bamboo. Once purchased, we will post a picture of this said bamboo... until next time....
